Media partitioning and IBM Spectrum Archive with LTFS

Create two partitions on the LTO Ultrium 5 media to enable LTFS, which improves the ability to reference small sections of data on tape. Spectrum Archive helps with interchange of data between different platforms.

Physical storage capacity up to 3.0 TB (2:1 compression)

Reduce the number of cartridge changes required for backup operations and the physical storage requirements for your backup and archive media.

Native data transfer rate of up to 140 MB/s

Address the demands of shrinking backup windows. Enable a faster read and write data to help reduce long waits for backup and restore procedures to keep your business up and running.

Half-height form-factor

Ideal for rack environments where space is a premium with its enclosure design that allows two units to be mounted side by side in a 19-inch IBM server rack. The IBM TS2250 offers the same high capacity as full-height, the same data transfer rate as full-height and lower cost implementation.
